Mystery(to me) Rear Hub!??

It actually could also be a Bendix

As also stated in my second post with pictures and an example of that Bendix hub, it is definitely not that one either.

I guessed out, sorry.

Kind of looks like a derivative of one of Alvin J. Musselman’s designs; (about 29mm ID).

It is interesting that Alvin and Alexander both had the same first and last initials, A. J. M. (Musselman), and A. P. M. (Morrow).

I may eventually try some musselman guts in it, but I don't have any cleaned up to try...plus I've got too much other stuff going on to dedicate time to that clean up. Got any references to those Alvin designs being different from the standard Musselman hub?

While I was looking up Alvin, I did find reference to a couple of Eclipse hubs that I'd not seen before. Still, close, but no cigar. They don't have that extra bead around the brake side race.

The finish and font are still making me lean towards Bendix/Eclipse, possibly war time...? The details of this hub aren't matching anything yet.
